Right now, there's a program called DeskPict at the Sumex-Aim archives.  It's
rather old, but it seems to work for me.  I'm using a IIsi, a standard 13" mon-
itor with an Apple video card, and MaxAppleZoom.  I'll probably toss the color-
backdrop in a day or so.  First of all, it's hard to come by 704x512 color pic-
tures, and it's just not worth 200kb of memory!  If you want a more interesting
backdrop, you can just create a 64x64 ppat, id #16, in the system file.  It's
better than the 8x8 standard, and it doesn't take any extra memory!
